Fake Baked Beans With Crispy Bacon image

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     side dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound dry white beans, like navy, pea or cannellini (see note)
2 whole cloves
1 small onion, halved lengthwise and peeled
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt, more to taste
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 slices thick-cut bacon
Chopped red onion, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cover beans with water to top them by 2 inches and refrigerate overnight, or bring to boil in water to cover, cool 1 hour.
  • Drain and rinse beans. Put them in a pot. Stick whole cloves into onion halves and add to pot along with garlic and bay leaf. Cover with enough water to top them by 1 inch. Simmer beans, partly covered, until just tender, about 1 to 2 hours depending upon age and size of beans; do not overcook. Add boiling water if beans look dry during cooking; they should be surrounded by just a little liquid.
  • Remove onion, cloves, garlic (if desired) and bay leaf from pot. Stir in the salt.
  • In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, molasses, vinegar, mustard powder, Tabasco and pepper. Pour mixture into beans and stir well. Add a slice of bacon to pot and bring everything to a simmer. Let simmer over low heat until beans are thickened, about 30 to 45 minutes. Remove bacon slice, if desired. Season with more salt if needed.
  • Just before serving, reheat beans, if necessary. Fry remaining bacon in large skillet and drain on paper-towel-lined plate. Transfer beans to heated gratin dish or baking pan and top with bacon and red onion. Serve hot.

BOSTON BAKED BEANS WITH BACON



Boston Baked Beans With Bacon image

Since you are cooking the beans in the oven for about 4 hours, I strongly suggest to use only dried beans for this, as the canned with get way too soft. The beans have to soak overnight in water so plan a day ahead. This can also be make successfully in a crockpot for a longer cooking time. The ingredients really do not have to be exactly measured for this. This is well worth the time to make, this bean bake is very good!

3 tablespoons light molasses

2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic
1 -2 teaspoon salt (can use seasoned salt)
black pepper (lots of black pepper!)

Steps:

  • Do this a day before: place the beans in a large bowl.
  • Add enough cold water to cover the beans by 3 inches.
  • Let stand at room temperature overnight.
  • The next day drain the beans very well in a colander; set aside.
  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large oven-proof Dutch oven cook the bacon pieces until crisp (about 7-8 minutes).
  • Add in well-drained beans and all the remaining ingredients; mix well to combine and bring to a boil on top of the stove.
  • Transfer the pot to the oven.

SLOW COOKER "YOU'LL NEVER MISS THE BACON" VEGETARIAN BOSTON BAKED BEANS



Slow Cooker

No bacon necessary! This meatless Boston baked bean recipe makes a tender, tasty, barbecue-worthy side that the vegetarians and the vegans at the party can enjoy along with everyone else. But the meat-eaters will love 'em, too!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 18h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound dried small white beans or navy beans
Water for soaking beans
1 medium yellow onion (diced)
1 medium green pepper (diced)
1 cup vegetable broth or water
1/2 cup molasses (I use Grandma's original)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
5-6 dashes Tabasco sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Soak. Rinse the beans and sort through them, discarding any beans that look "off" or any foreign objects. Place beans in Crock Pot and cover with 3-4 inches of water. You can also add them to a pot or bowl; I just like to use my Crock Pot stoneware because in the end that's one less dish to clean. Cover and let soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. Pour the soaked beans into a colander and rinse well. Rinse out the Crock Pot. Set soaked beans aside; you'll add them back to the Crock Pot in a minute.
  • Assemble. Add onion, pepper, broth, molasses, brown sugar, olive oil, dry mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to Crock Pot. Mix until combined. Add back your soaked and drained beans and stir until combined. Add bay leaf.
  • Cook. Cook on high for 8-10 hours or on low for 12-14 hours. Note: Slow Cookers can vary, so the first time you make this, you may want check on it periodically and see if you need more broth or water after the first few hours. But don't worry, your beans shouldn't turn to mush! The molasses helps to prevent that.
  • Leftover beans keep up to three days refrigerated in an airtight container. They also freeze well.

ROOT BEER BAKED BEANS WITH BACON RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Root Beer Baked Beans with Bacon Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 18

BEANS:
4 strips thick-sliced bacon, diced
SWEAT:
2 cups diced onions
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
DEGLAZE:
2 cups root beer
2 cans pinto beans (15-ounces each), drained and rinsed
1 can tomato purée (10.75-ounces)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons each, Worcestershire sauce and cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon each, Tabasco sauce, root beer extract, and kosher salt
TOPPING, PULSE:
3 slices white bread, buttered
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. For the beans, cook bacon in a nonstick skillet until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings. Sweat onions, bell pepper, and garlic in drippings over medium heat until soft, 5 minutes. Deglaze skillet with root beer and bring to a boil; cook until root beer nearly evaporated, 10 minutes. Stir in beans, tomato purée, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, Tabasco, root beer extract, salt, and bacon; bring to a simmer. Transfer beans to a 2-quart baking dish. For the topping, pulse bread in a food processor to crumbs. Add parsley; pulse to combine. Top beans with bread crumb mixture; bake until topping is toasted and beans are bubbly, 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of beans. For this recipe, you'll need dried beans, not canned beans. Dried beans have a more robust flavor and hold their shape better during cooking.
  • Soak the beans overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. The vegetables in this recipe add flavor and texture. Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables that you like.
  • Don't overcook the beans. Beans are done cooking when they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland.
  • Add the bacon at the end of cooking. This will help prevent the bacon from becoming overcooked and tough.
  • Serve the beans hot. Baked beans are best served hot, right out of the oven. They can also be served cold, as a salad.

Conclusion:

Bacon baked beans are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful dish, give bacon baked beans a try.
